We encourage everyone to send their Christmas parcels as early as possible and by the below dates at the latest, so we can get them there on time.
Items sent after these dates will be delivered as quickly as possible, but they may not arrive until after Christmas.
Sending by International Economy Sea Mail
Sea Mail is our cheapest overseas delivery option but takes the longest. Send as early as you can and by the cut-off dates below to give your Christmas deliveries the best chance of arriving on time.
If you’ve missed the cut-off date for your destination, we suggest using International Standard or International Express.
Please note:
- Overseas Christmas deliveries may be affected by factors that are beyond our control, such as customs delays and overseas postal disruptions, so send as early as you can. For the latest information on overseas delays and disruptions, please read our international updates.
- Dates below are based on posting over the counter by the last advertised mail closing time at Post Offices in the Sydney metropolitan area. If posted outside Sydney metropolitan area, please post earlier.
